Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to methods of making load bearing members for use in elevator systems. More particularly, this invention relates to an elevator load bearing member having a specialized jacket surface.
  • Elevator systems typically include a cab and counterweight that move within a hoistway to transport passengers or cargo to different landings within a building, for example.
  • a load bearing member such as roping or a belt typically moves over a set of sheaves and supports the load of the cab and counterweight.
  • load bearing members used in elevator systems.
  • One type of load bearing member is a coated steel belt.
  • Typical arrangements include a plurality of steel cords extending along the length of the assembly.
  • a jacket is applied over the cords and forms an exterior of the assembly.
  • Some jacket application processes result in grooves being formed in the jacket surface on at least one side of the assembly.
  • Some processes also tend to cause distortions or irregularities in the position of the steel cords relative to the exterior of the jacket along the length of the assembly.
  • an extrusion process for applying a jacket over the cords requires selecting a urethane material having chemical properties that are beneficial for the process of applying the jacket.
  • the resulting jacket may present difficulties in having the desired level of traction when installed in an elevator system.
  • the resulting coefficient of friction between the jacket and an elevator sheave surface may be higher or lower than desirable for meeting the traction requirements within the hoistway.
  • Typical processes result in a smooth or glossy exterior of the jacket on the sheave contacting surfaces. In some instances, this smoothness can introduce undesirable adhesion between the jacket and a traction sheave. In most cases, the resulting coefficient of friction between the smooth surface and a traction sheave is not consistent with desired traction performance.
  • US 5, 566, 786 discloses a synthetic fiber cable with a synthetic sheathing that can be smooth or textured.
  • WO 2005/068696 citeable under Art. 54 (3) EPC, discloses an elevator tension member that may be provided with an embossed pattern on the jacket surfaces.
  • this invention relates to a load bearing member for use in an elevator system that includes at least one rough surface on an exterior of a urethane jacket.
  • One example load bearing member includes a plurality of tension members.
  • a jacket generally surrounds the tension members.
  • the jacket has at least one rough surface on an exterior of the jacket.
  • the jacket has a generally rectangular cross-section including a width and a thickness.
  • the rough surface extends across the entire width of the jacket.
  • the rough surface includes a plurality of impressions that have a depth of at least approximately five microns.
  • the one surface includes a plurality of grooves extending across the width of the jacket with a section of the jacket between each set of adjacent grooves. Each section includes the rough surface.
  • the method of making a load bearing member for use in an elevator system includes roughening at least one surface of a urethane jacket that generally surrounds a plurality of tension members.
  • the surface is also chemically roughened using a chemical wash or chemical etching technique, for example.
  • the surface is also mechanically roughened using at least one of abrading, rubbing or grinding the jacket surface.
  • the jacket is extruded onto the tension members and a temperature of an extrusion device is controlled to also roughen the one surface.
  • causing melt fracture roughens the surface.
  • the melt fracture interrupts a surface layer that contains components other than pure polyurethane. The resulting melt fracture prevents the amide components from completely migrating to the one surface, which prevents the one surface from being completely smooth or glossy.
  • Figure 1 schematically illustrates a load bearing member 40 that is designed for use in an elevator system.
  • a plurality of cords 42 are aligned generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the load bearing member 40.
  • the cords 42 are made of strands of steel wire.
  • a jacket 44 generally surrounds the cords 42.
  • the jacket 44 comprises a polyurethane-based material.
  • a variety of polymer materials are commercially available and known in the art to be useful for elevator systems.
  • the preferred urethane material is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Given this description, those skilled in the art will be able to select a proper jacket material to suit the needs of their particular situation.
  • the example jacket 44 establishes an exterior length, L, width, W, and a thickness, t, of the load bearing member 40.
  • the width W of the load bearing member is approximately 30 millimeters and the thickness t is about 3 millimeters.
  • the cords 42 have a diameter of 1.65 millimeters.
  • the cords 42 preferably extend along the entire length L of the assembly.
  • the load bearing member is round, rather than rectangular.
  • the jacket 44 has exterior surfaces 46 and 48. At least one of the surfaces 46 or 48 will contact a traction sheave and possibly other components within the elevator system as the load bearing member 40 moves to provide the desired elevator cab movement. At least the exterior surface 46 is rough across the width W and along the length L of the example load bearing member 40.
  • the example assembly includes a plurality of spaced grooves 47 periodically interrupting the surface 46, which result from some belt-making techniques.
  • the portions of the cords at the groove locations may be at least partially exposed and not fully covered with the material of the jacket 44 as known. Even though the grooves 47 interrupt the surface 46, they are not considered to contribute to or to constitute the roughness of the surface 46.
  • the roughness of the example surface 46 includes a plurality of surface irregularities that make the surface 46 rough (i.e., not smooth). In the illustrated example, a plurality of impressions 49 are disbursed about the surface 46. In some examples, the pattern of the surface irregularities may be established in a controlled manner. In other examples, the surface irregularities are randomly disbursed across the surface 46.
  • a plurality of impressions 49 are provided on the surface 46 that are on the order of at least two microns deep. In another example, impressions of about 5 microns deep are included. Deeper impressions or other surface interruptions could be used. Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this description will be able to select an appropriate depth and pattern, depending on the needs of a particular embodiment.
  • the impressions in an ester based TPU may be more shallow than those in an ether based TPU jacket with similar results, for example.
  • One example includes a surface 46 that has a texture that generally corresponds to a surface texture on a sheave in the elevator system where the load bearing member is employed.
  • Having a jacket roughness that generally corresponds to a sheave roughness includes a roughness on the jacket surface that is in a general range between about 1/10 th the roughness of the sheave and about 10 times the roughness of the sheave.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show another example embodiment of a load bearing member 40' that is configured as a flat belt but does not include any grooves 47 on the surface 46'.
  • a plurality of impressions 49' are provided on the surface 46' so that the surface is rough.
  • the example of Figures 2 and 3 is made using a different manufacturing technique than that used to make the example embodiment of Figure 1 so that the grooves 47 are only present in the embodiment of Figure 1 .
  • the rough surface 46, 46' provides a significantly different coefficient of friction between the load bearing member and a traction sheave compared to a smooth or glossy surface.
  • the rough surface 46 in some examples significantly decreases the traction.
  • the urethane material selected for making the jacket 44, 44' if the coefficient of friction decreases with increased pressure, the rough surface 46 effectively increases pressure and decreases friction.
  • the coefficient of friction increases with increased pressure so that increased roughness may have the affect of increasing friction. In either situation, the roughness of the surface 46, 46' significantly decreases adhesion and, therefore, apparent friction.
  • an appropriate surface texture i.e., roughness
  • FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a method of making a load bearing member 40.
  • a cord supply 50 provides the cords 42.
  • a positioning device 52 aligns the cords 42 in a desired alignment so that the cords will extend parallel to a longitudinal axis of the load bearing member 40.
  • a tensioning device 54 controls an amount of tension on the cords 42 during the jacket application process.
  • the jacket application station 56 preferably includes a suitable mold or other device for applying the jacket material onto the cords 42.
  • a supply 58 provides the chosen polymer material (PU in the illustrated example) to the jacket application station 56 in a conventional manner.
  • the jacket material may be pressure molded, extruded or otherwise applied to the cords 42.
  • the formed assembly preferably is then processed at a surface finishing station 60.
  • the surface finishing station 60 includes at least one device that is used to roughen the surface 46 of the jacket 44.
  • the processing at the finishing station 60 may be dry or wet, depending on desired material handling, for example.
  • Figure 6 schematically illustrates a device that is used for roughening the surface 46 of the jacket 44.
  • an abrading pad 65 has a rough surface 66 that is supported in machinery of the finishing station 66 so that the surface 66 engages at least the surface 46 of the jacket 44.
  • moving machinery causes the abrading device 65 to move rapidly in a circular or reciprocal motion to rub against the jacket 44 for roughening the surface 46.
  • Figure 7 schematically illustrates another example where an abrasive sheet 67 such as sandpaper is appropriately supported within the finishing station 60 so that it contacts at least the surface 46 for roughening the surface a desired amount.
  • an abrasive sheet 67 such as sandpaper is appropriately supported within the finishing station 60 so that it contacts at least the surface 46 for roughening the surface a desired amount.
  • Figure 8 schematically illustrates another device for roughening the surface 46.
  • a buffing pad 68 is supported in an appropriate manner to rub against at least the surface 46 to buff the surface until it has an appropriate amount of roughness.
  • the particular device or devices shown for roughening the surface 46 may vary depending on the particular material selected for making the jacket and the particular surface texture desired for a given application. Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this description will realize what will work best for their situation, which may include a combination of more than one of the devices described here or other, similarly functional devices.
  • Figure 9 schematically shows an applicator 69 that is useful for applying a chemical to the surface 46 to achieve a desired roughness. Applying a chemical wash to at least the surface 46 is used in one example to partially erode the material on the surface 46 resulting in a roughened surface once the chemical wash is rinsed away, by water for example. In another example, a chemical etching technique is applied to at least the surface 46. Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this description will be able to select appropriate chemicals and processing times to achieve the desired roughness of at least the surface 46 to meet the needs of their particular situation.
  • the finishing station 60 also includes a forming device, a dimensional inspection device and a curing cold water bath where the jacket material and the cords within the material are cooled to a suitable temperature.
  • the finishing station forming device preferably includes a rigid structure that forces the jacket to have a desired exterior configuration (i.e., a rectangular cross section).
  • the inspection device such as a known laser triangulation measuring device, determines whether the desired geometry was achieved.
  • the resulting load bearing member 40 preferably is then stored at 62, for example on spools for shipment to various locations for installation in elevator systems.
  • the load bearing member 40 may be precut to specific lengths or may be provided in larger quantities where a technician at the installation selects the appropriate amount of belt material for a particular application.
  • Figure 5 schematically illustrates an example molding device 70 for applying the jacket 44 to the cords 42 and roughening at least one surface of the jacket 44.
  • the example of Figure 5 may be used in an arrangement as schematically shown in Figure 4 .
  • the finishing station 60 may not require any device for roughening the surface 46.
  • the surface roughness can be established during the extrusion process where the jacket 44 is applied to the cords 42. Additional roughness may be accomplished using a roughening device within the finishing station 60 even where a technique as schematically shown in Figure 5 is employed.
  • the example forming device 70 of Figure 5 includes a mold housing 72 having an input side 74.
  • a cord positioning device 76 preferably is situated at the input side 74.
  • the cord positioning device 76 includes a plurality of openings 78 through which the cords 42 are fed into the device 70.
  • the openings 78 preferably are accurately machined or otherwise formed so that a close tolerance is kept between the exterior of the cords 42 and the interior of the openings 78. Having a tight fit between the openings 78 and the cords 42 prevents backflow of the jacket material during the molding process.
  • the mold housing 72 includes one or more openings 79 through which the jacket material is applied to the cords using pressure injection.
  • pressure injection can be used for molding materials such as polyurethane when the material is suitably heated. Given this description, those skilled in the art will be able to select appropriate conditions for achieving a desired result
  • the molding device 70 includes a temperature controlled opening 80 at an output side 82 of the mold housing 72.
  • the opening 80 preferably is shaped to control the exterior shape and surfaces on the load bearing member 4-0.
  • the opening 80 is temperature controlled for achieving a desired effect on the exterior of the jacket 44.
  • the temperature within the mold housing 72 is higher than the temperature of the opening 80.
  • Reducing the temperature of the opening 80 relative to the temperature in the mold housing 72 effectively cools the surfaces of the jacket 44 as the assembly exits the mold housing 72. During such cooling, a portion of the jacket material is effectively solidified against the wall of the opening 80 and then torn away as the assembly continues through the mold machinery. This effect induces or creates turbulence within the jacket material and prevents the components within the polyurethane stock material that are not pure polyurethane from completely migrating to the surface 46 of the jacket 44. It is known that during formation of most polyurethane materials, an amide rich layer forms on an exterior.
  • the various additives to a polyurethane material typically migrate to the exterior surface and form a thin layer, which may be less than .1 millimeter, containing "impurities" added to the stock of polyurethane.
  • Inducing melt fracture (by lowering the temperature of the opening 80 relative to the rest of the mold, for example) allows the typical amide-rich layer to only partially form and results in an irregular surface 46 that has a roughness sufficient for accomplishing the objectives of an embodiment of this invention.
  • the micro-irregularities in the surface 46 caused by melt fracture may include impressions 49 on the order of five microns, which is sufficient to enhance the friction characteristics of the jacket 44 for some polyurethane materials.
  • localized heating of the surface 46 is used to roughen the surface 46 by causing localized vaporizing, melting or burning of the surface material of the jacket 44.
  • Figure 10 schematically shows a precise heat source 90 that heats at least selected portions of the surface 46 to cause the desired localized change in the surface.
  • the heat source 90 directs a laser beam 92 at the jacket surface.
  • the heat source 90 directs an electron beam 92 at the jacket surface.
  • the heat source 90 is positioned within or before the finishing station 60 of Figure 4 .
  • Using localized heating may be most advantageously used before the jacket material is cooled in a water bath, for example. Given this description, those skilled in the art will be able to select an appropriate arrangement and appropriate parameters to meet the needs of their particular situation.
  • the resulting non-smooth, non-glossy surface provides enhanced traction control.
  • the disclosed techniques can be used to provide a variety of surface textures.
